Bravo announced its 2026-2027 slate on Monday, May 11, revealing a ton of renewals and new shows, while leaving the fates of shows like “Vanderpump Rules” and “Ladies of London” unknown.
The news came out of the network’s NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation in New York, where Bravo also shared new details on two massive fan events, BravoCon and Bravo Fan Fest.
“Bravo continues to be a leading force in unscripted television with a robust roster of hit franchises, fresh originals and event-driven programming that engages audiences, sets industry trends, and shapes conversation across platforms year-round,” they wrote in a press release sent out this morning.
Real Housewives of Rhode Island Among Renewals
One of the biggest announcements of the day was Bravo renewing freshman series “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” for a second season.
According to the network, the show scored Bravo’s biggest series or season premiere ever on Peacock, with RHORI “currently pacing as the network’s #2 biggest series across platforms behind only ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.'”
The press release also confirmed season renewals of “The Valley: Persian Style,” “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition,” “Below Deck Down Under,” “Married to Medicine,” “Southern Charm,” “Summer House,” “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” and “Top Chef.”
Already renewed were “Below Deck,” “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” “The Real Housewives of New York City,” “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” and “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
Jeff Lewis is also set to return to Bravo with “Still Flipping Out” later in 2026.
While TMZ previously reported that “Vanderpump Rules” was renewed for a second season with its new cast, Bravo has yet to confirm the renewal. The fate of “Ladies of London” also hasn’t been confirmed.
New Vanderpump Spinoff Heads to Vegas
Bravo announced two new shows at Upfronts as well.
While the fate of “Vanderpump Rules” remains a mystery, Lisa Vanderpump will be headed to Vegas with spinoff series, “Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas.”
“Lisa Vanderpump has been ruling over the Las Vegas strip for years now, with threehotspot restaurants serving up chic cocktails in her signature whimsical settings,” reads the official synopsis. “Now, she is expanding her Vegas empire through the opening of her high-profile namesake hotel.”
“In this limited series, we follow the behind-the-scenes dash to make the property worthy of the Vanderpump brand,” it adds. “LVP shares what inspired her newest enterprise and pulls back the curtain on the down-to-the-wire drama. The series will culminate at The Vanderpump Hotel’s lavish opening party, with fan-favorite Bravolebrities celebrating the launch,”
Bravo also announced another new series, “Secrets, Lies, Texas Wives.”
Here’s the official logline: “In the heart of Texas Hill Country is the picture‑perfect town of Boerne where wealth, beauty, faith and family reign supreme. Centered on a tight-knit circle of glamorous women, this series follows their lives as they raise families, run ranches and farms, and manage sparkling social calendars in a town rooted in rodeos and tradition. Behind the polished smiles and Sunday sermons, however, there are intimate relationships and forbidden romances that test loyalties and marriages, jeopardizing the town’s pristine image and proving that perfection is far more complicated than anyone could imagine.”
No word yet on when they’ll premiere.
